Cut the remaining speck in half, and again, and again so you end up with eight pieces.
Put pressure cooker on stove, put stove on high.
Put ONE small slice of Speck in cooker, liberally grind pepper on top.
Once that piece starts sizzling, add the other small pieces of bacon and the chopped onions, grab the beans out of the water and add to bacon, stirring constantly for 2 minutes.
Now add some 175 ml of chicken stock (or 6 stock cubes and 175 ml of boiling water)

Immediately add everything that is left, ie 4 whole potatoes, 2 1/2 whole onions, 10 whole garlic gloves.

Put lid on pressure cooker, put safety valve on top, leave on high.[/list]<LI>Pressure Cooking Time
<UL>Approximately 3 to 4 minutes (depending on the size of the potatoes)
Serve as soon as pressure has dissipated because you'll be ever-so hungry by the time the dish is ready <img src=/S/yum.gif border=0 alt=yum width=15 height=15>[/list]<LI>Condiments
<UL>A nice bottle of Vino Valpolicella
Fresh home-made bread or perhaps a bread as <!post=described here,173919>described here<!/post>[/list][/list]<LI>Leftovers
<UL>Any pieces of Speck are absolutely fantastic served cold (you may have to fight for them for next day's lunch), beans reheated are yummy as well.[/list]
